The bill establishes a Washington division of civil air patrol as part of the Washington military department, consisting of volunteer members from the Washington wing of the federally chartered civil air patrol. The commanding officer of the Washington wing will serve as the head of this new division, with provisions for appointing an acting commanding officer in case of vacancy or inability to serve. The division will be available for active state service at the governor's request and will include commissioned and warrant officers, enlisted personnel, and cadets.

Additionally, the bill authorizes the Washington division of civil air patrol to collaborate with various state agencies, departments, and federally recognized tribes for activities such as cadet training, disaster relief, and search and rescue missions. The head of the division is empowered to enter into agreements for these functions and can accept reimbursements for incurred expenses. The bill also clarifies that it does not alter the existing rights or operations of the Washington wing of the civil air patrol or its cooperation with the federal government. This legislation creates a new chapter in Title 38 of the Revised Code of Washington (RCW).
